Color, firmness, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, vitamin C, lycopene, ? carotene, total phenolics and total antioxidant activity were evaluated. Concentrations of lycopene, ? carotene, vitamin C, acidity, phenolics and antioxidant activity were influenced by the cropping system, and time and temperature of storage. Fruit produced organically had higher concentrations of vitamin C throughout storage as well as higher soluble solids at 0, 10 and 20 days, and higher antioxidant activity at 0, 5 and 10 days than conventional fruit regardless of storage temperature. Fruit from the conventional cropping system had higher acidity than organically produced fruit at 5 and 15 days of room and cool storage. At 10, 15 and 20 days, there were no differences in lycopene concentrations of tomatoes between cropping systems. aPostharvest systems aArmazenamento aLycopersicon Esculentum aQualidade aTemperatura aTomate aCultivo convencional aCultivo orgânico aSolanum lycopersicon1 aRESENDE, F.
